Frequently asked questions
Good question! Every screenshot gets compressed to reduce their cost of storage. Even though one screenshot might not need that much space, thousands for example will require much more space in comparison to one. Thousands of screenshots probably would go near the 100 MB mark. If you're concerned about your space, Historify has a autocleaner function which will only allow a userdefined maximum to be stored.
Of course! Im always happy to hear about your thoughts. Without user requests I probably would not even know how to improve the addon. But functionalities will only be added if I am sure that every user can benefit by them.
Yes, I already worked out many plans to do so. But first of all I am focussing on some other problems.
Since the addon only takes a screenshot and stores the website information locally after the website has fully loaded, it should not slow down the performance except you have an older device or too many pages in the history.
The trigger to take a screenshot and store all the other data is inside a content script which always starts running when a website is loaded. Some pages dont allow content scripts to run on their page e.g. addons.mozilla.org, since this could lead to a security issue. I am currently working on a new way to take screenshots so that it will even work on these pages.
Yes it is and as long as you don't publish them you won't get any problems.
If you'd like to help me just write a critical review on addons.mozilla.org or encourage your friends to use Historify. A tweet would also be highly appreciated. As long as there are poeple who are using this addon I am fired up to develop it to it's best.
You can just write a mail to help.flosommerfeld@gmail.com or get in contact with me at the review section.
